What is the effect of *never* changing the oild filter? Does the
filter eventually clog up, or what?

As for oil changes, there is a slight leak in the rocker box
gasket, so the occasional oil top-ups amount to a complete oil
change about every 2 years, without needing to undo the sump nut -
very convenient. ;-) TIA

6000ml/6months whichever is the sooner. more modern diesels are
12000ml/12months.

Are you sure?

I am sure my 54 reg van has the oil change at around 30000 miles.

Bloody hell - did you hit the zero too many times?

No. I now have the manual. It's 2 years or 30000 miles and uses a SAE 5W-40
oil.
